Impact of feed starvation on Bio-indices in Anabas testudineus fingerling under laboratory condition

Abstract

The present experiment was conducted to study the impact of feed starvation in bioindices of Anabas testudineus fingerling for a period of 15th weeks from the 4th December, 2016 to 18th March, 2017. Bioindices such as Condition factor (K), Hepatosomatic index (HSI) and Gastrosomatic index (GaSI) of fish in different treatments were recorded. The Condition factor (K) of fish in different treatments fluctuated from a minimum of1.063 (D4) to maximum of 1.33 (D2). The HSI of fish in different treatments varied from a minimum of 1.125(D4) to maximum of 1.618(control). The GaSI of fish in different treatments ranged from a minimum of 3.07 (D4) to maximum of 3.48(control) during the experimental period. There was no significant difference (P
